Generally the vocabulary is based upon European dialects, but the grammar and syntax has a more global scale. Even if one was to classify esperanto as Eurocentric it would only ever be very slightly so.

Like others said, Zamenhoff was a product of his time. His immediate goal with Esperanto was to rectify the language barriers that existed in the region now known as Vicegrad4. Poland, Czech Republic, Slovenia, and Slovakia. This is, again, from memory so it may not be perfectly recalled.

Esperanto is fun, too. Plus there's a website where other Esperantistoj will let you stay with them for free while traveling.
